Where are the international socks?

International socks refer to Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province.

Zhuji Datang Su has the reputation of "International Socks Capital". From the initial imitation of "foreign socks" to the annual output of more than 20 billion pairs of socks, and now to the sock art town, in the past 70 years, the people of the Tang Dynasty have continuously given new connotations to "socks capital".

In 20 15, Zhuji socks art town came into being, and in 20 18, it was included in the second batch of provincial characteristic towns officially named. Relying on the development of creativity and intelligence, Datang invested a lot of construction funds to explore new ways of combining industry and tourism, and launched the "Socks Art Tour" tourist line.

Through the new mode of industry plus tourism, the traditional form of relying solely on socks industry is broken, and the background of socks industry art town is richer, more dynamic and brighter.

Festival custom

Zhuji City has customs such as Tomb-Sweeping Day looking for fruit, making zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival, making reunion cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival and steaming sugar seedlings on Chongyang. In Zhuji, Dragon Boat Festival is usually eaten with Zongzi. In addition, Dragon Boat Festival will also eat Dragon Boat Festival eggs, mung bean cakes, May peaches, wheat birds and other foods, among which Dragon Boat Festival eggs are the most popular, and almost every household will give stewed meat eggs, tea eggs and red eggs as gifts to chefs.

During the summer solstice, farmers usually make summer solstice wheat cakes, which are made of wheat flour and divided into primary colors and cyan. The primary color is salty cake, and the filling is pickles or amaranth. Cyan is a biscuit filled with brown sugar or white sugar. On the solstice of summer, it is said that people will eat meat, and there is another saying that "people who don't eat meat will become knowledgeable in the afterlife." In ancient times, there was also the custom of offering sacrifices to the heavenly palace and Tianmu.

In July and a half, the countryside is used to steaming "sugar overflow", and neighbors give gifts to each other, which are generally sweet. The peasant woman swells rice with water, grinds it into rice slurry, and mixes it with red beans and sugar. In addition, farmers steamed "rattan soup", dried and cut into rice noodles, which were eaten as snacks in the second half of the year. Some areas eat "Sesame Beijing Group" in July and a half.
